07:18 I'm very interested in the exchange of particles concept, so does the graviton goes forever or does it loop back, and does strong gravity means more gravitons or stronger (higher frequency) ones
Giving them such names can help talking about them if you can relate the term to their names for some certain reason. You can get used to remembering the numbers but it's harder and messier.
Personally I'd set them to L(j,p,g,r) knowing what they meant but oh well. (yes that's not an L but I dunno what symbol it is).
I have now the copy of your paper. :) I've searched it over the internet, and I'm interested with the Horndeski's Theory (maybe because of such complicated equation with many inverted triangles [del] embedded on it).

Each individual and society will benefit from being able to solve more problems and make better decisions. Education is an amazing discovery process that repays you endlessly."
Virtual particles has always been an idea that bothers me. I've got no idea what the heck they're supposed to be. If gravity is supposed to attract all mass together, am I sitting here pumping out an infinite quantity of gravitrons that are flying off to hit my desk, or the moon, or an alien golf ball in Ursa Minor?
OK well not infinite, but a stupendous number, considering all the bits of matter in the universe I'm supposedly attracting. I don't get how that's supposed to work.
I would have argued for the inclusion of the Beatles' names by saying that "Across the Universe" was the first song ever to be transmitted into deep space.
@dstdvl It's just getting bigger. If you travel between two points now and do it again later, you'll have to travel further later. Not by much unless you're going a long way.
After all is not the whole of science a bit of a joke - struggling for your life to find out the 'truth' only to be trumped after your death by a new discovery .
I would look to publish in another paper - one perhaps that is less curmudgeonly...

@525047 More like another paper trying to explain reality from a set of basic rules. Perhaps it will and perhaps it won't. This is why you publish it and ask others to rip holes into it. If no-one can find any flaws, then we have progress.
By definition all things created by people are self-centered. So thats a meaningless characterization.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
I'm glad I stayed out of physics, for the most part, I don't know if I could deal with that much math. I think I'll stick to basic statistics, and leave that kind of monster for the more mathematically inclined and talented to deal with. I'm still waiting for the models of biological systems, even if they'd put me right out of a job.
@sarcleaeolist lol. There's nothing basic about statistics. lol. ;). Oh, and I believe there are mathematical models of biological systems. I think I read that somewhere. They've formulated the math and were able to verify and predict the mechanisms behind the sexual selection of organisms (I'm sure among other things). They've been able to do this since the 1970's and the equations have been used in computer programs to further evolutionary theory.
"If you don't enjoy what you're doing, go and do something else..." I couldn't agree more. I love my job and couldn't imagine life any other way. Another great video Sixty Symbols! Thanks for the entertainment and education.

There are plenty of examples of such "jokes" in scientific publications. The "penguin diagram" is a well known one. Science is important, but you can have a bit of fun as well. Too bad John, Paul, George and Ringo didn't get through.
I'm sorta confused as to how the red shift is factored into this. Are you saying that the universe is expanding DUE to the vacuum energy? Or just that the acceleration is due to the vacuum energy? I felt you were saying the 2nd one.
@SSnor The big bang was the nickname given to the expansion of space in the universe. There wasn't energy being released, since the energy was always there. The "bang" was the sudden rapid expansion of space which allowed the energy to form particles, matter, and eventually galaxies.
University wise ive just applied to cambridge, durham, nottingham and UCL, if i get into durham and nottingham but not cambridge, anyone want to have a go at convincing me to go to one or the other? input would be appreciated from all corners, cheers (i know posting here may encourage bias :P)
@888Xenon I've just started 1st year here at Nottingham and I can tell you that the campus is amazing! There are so many societies with great turn-out and excellent organising! Teaching is really good where in labs you have a demonstrator for every 7 people. There are also tutorials held every week with small groups per tutor. I live in county Durham and applied to the uni, but Notts was still my first choice because Durham is 'dotted' all over the city- Nottingham campus is awesome!!
Just going by Newtonian mechanics, because this expansion is accellerating, should we not call the cause of the expansion a New Force (in Newtons), and not give it the label of Dark Energy (in Joules?)
A bullet will continue to accelerate even after leaving the barrel of a gun. Could the same be true considering the Big Bang theory? Could everything still be accelerating from the blast before it begins to naturally slow down over time?
I am 99,9999% certain that a bullet does NOT accelerate after leaving the barrel. Where do you get this from? There is no more force (other than gravity and friction) working on the bullet, it is impossible for it to accelerate further.
@Surtak Well there's the gyrojet. Those rounds accelerate after leaving the barrel of the gun. Of course, they're rockets, so I don't think anyone who's interested in firearms would call them "bullets".
@Surtak I used speed traps at 5 feet, 20 feet and 50 feet to test the ballistics of a 45 auto round. The bullet was faster at 20 feet than it was at 5 feet. I was surprised as well. Results were the same after 3 tests.
First off, I'll assume you were firing horizontally in the earth's athmosphere :P
Then, what could possible accelerate the bullet? I would imagine that at 5 feet there should be no driving force from the expanding gas anymore. What were your actual results and margins of error?
@Surtak I don't fully understand the results of the test, therefore I can not explain them to you. However, your welcome to replicate the test and study the results.
@toolshedjunky You know I've heard other people report that, specifically Army tests with speed traps while firing bullets from the M-16. It doesn't really make any sense. You can put a piece of paper 5 feet from the muzzle and the muzzle blast barely shakes the paper, you wonder how much pressure gas could possibly exert outside the barrel. I wonder if it's something to do with the way the traps measure speed.
Watching that video made me realise that YouTube for the first time gives the opprotunity to scientists to actually have FANS and a following, like the beatles only their songs look more like theories mathematics and overal; technological geekyness
I really wish I could understand all those amazing equations, but sureley for a layman the reason the universe is expanding is because there is nothing to redirect the passage of energy and matter out into nothingness.
Although gravity has a part to play in coalescing the matter that is available some will always be moving away into the space of nothing, gradually lowering the overall density of the universe.
You see, it is the expansion of the universe that until now was thought to be slowing, gravitational forces being part of the reason for this. However the expansion is actually accelerating not slowing so there has to be some other energy source to counteract the forces of gravitational interaction.
Fascinating video once again! I'd like to know more about those graviton-type virtual particles, those you can't see or grab or isolate... what are they if they aren't tangible?! They just fit nicely in an equation?! Anyhow, I'll do my research... (Also, is it me, or is Prof. Copeland sorta having a bad hair day? lol haircut time?)
One question, wouldn't solving the problem of the cosmological constant be so important as to deserve something like the nobel? I mean from the amateur knowledge I have on the current state of colsmology, isn't this one of the big questions?
I am 100% for allowing scientists to choose their own paper's titles and variable names, etc. However, on a purely practical level, I would HATE John, Ringo, Paul and George to be widely accepted variables. Not only do they not have anything to do with the subject, so they're completely arbitrary and tell you nothing about what they're supposed to represent, but they are also long to write. Imagine having to deal with an equation and constantly having to write "John","Paul","Ringo", & "George"!
@ThiagowwW10 dark energy is the unknown energy/force behind the universal expansion, this is shining a light (hopefully) on what it actually is driving the expansion, I believe they're two names for the same thing in a sense.
Just like every biologist has to accept names of genes like "gooseberry," "sonic hedgehog," and the all-mighty "tiggywinkle hedgehog."
Anyone who whines about this lighthearted take on nature is a lame party-pooper, just like the losers that rejected the paper because they want everyone to take them super seriously because they're super important. Nature is something you either develop a sense of humor about, or get existential over. I know which path I'd rather take.
I thought ,what it was accelerating the universe expantion, was dark energy. Is vaccum energy and dark energy two different names for the same thing or dark energy it's something else entirely?
You have to be sneaky to slip a joke into a peer-reviewed paper. A good example is the 2010 Nobel Prize winner Andre Giem publishing a paper with his hamster (credited as H.A.M.S. ter Tisha) or the unfortunate unintentional joke of a Chinese research group persistently abbreviating copper (Cu) nanotubules (NT's) - sure you can all work it out...
If space is expanding where do you get additional pieces of it? I mean, you can't just stretch space between this and that galaxy. And yes, space is most probably quantized; there is no evidence for anything in existence that is continuous.
I'm so glad they spent so much time with the Beatles terms.Because the science wasn't that important.....I have no idea what the functions are that have the Beatles names.
If people think scientists know about pop culture and are cool, lots of people will study to become scientists and then the 'problems' will all be solved thus they willall be looking for a new career :P
Why not just have the "Fab Four" abbreviated (J, P, G, R). And have the first initial of their name replace the John, Paul, George, and Ringo. That way it wouldn't be so obvious :)
Patents are serious, too. However, patent #4,310,552 is titled "Casting perlite before the swine
Summary:
A swine, hog and pig fodder which comprises the customary digestible meal or grain component, e.g. soy or bran meal, in combination with an indigestible blown perlite additive with a particle size up to 5 mm and preferably between 0 and 2 mm...
@Halo3ForumEurope the entire universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, that's the whole basis of the cosmological constant problem and the topic of this video.
look what science has boiled down to ... '' you dont have to worry about what that means'' THE WHY AM I WATCHING THIS VIDEO YOU SILLY MAN ( and I stress SILLY because I cant type something more appropriate ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont have anything personal against the the beatles just dont care in this context ( what the video is about ) ...............

@Surtak I don't fully understand the results of the test, therefore I can not explain them to you. However, your welcome to replicate the test and study the results.

@toolshedjunky You know I've heard other people report that, specifically Army tests with speed traps while firing bullets from the M-16. It doesn't really make any sense. You can put a piece of paper 5 feet from the muzzle and the muzzle blast barely shakes the paper, you wonder how much pressure gas could possibly exert outside the barrel. I wonder if it's something to do with the way the traps measure speed.

So vacuum energy is dark energy?
caiomarinho1 4 months ago
I really wish I could understand all those amazing equations, but sureley for a layman the reason the universe is expanding is because there is nothing to redirect the passage of energy and matter out into nothingness.
Although gravity has a part to play in coalescing the matter that is available some will always be moving away into the space of nothing, gradually lowering the overall density of the universe.
At least I think this is true.
Or does space have an edge?
Bobajobimus 4 months ago
@Bobajobimus
You see, it is the expansion of the universe that until now was thought to be slowing, gravitational forces being part of the reason for this. However the expansion is actually accelerating not slowing so there has to be some other energy source to counteract the forces of gravitational interaction.

Fascinating video once again! I'd like to know more about those graviton-type virtual particles, those you can't see or grab or isolate... what are they if they aren't tangible?! They just fit nicely in an equation?! Anyhow, I'll do my research... (Also, is it me, or is Prof. Copeland sorta having a bad hair day? lol haircut time?)

One question, wouldn't solving the problem of the cosmological constant be so important as to deserve something like the nobel? I mean from the amateur knowledge I have on the current state of colsmology, isn't this one of the big questions?

I bet they would have accepted the paper if you called them the Four Horseman and named the Lagrangians "Ric, Arn, Ole, and Tully".

DarkSoldier712 4 months ago
I am 100% for allowing scientists to choose their own paper's titles and variable names, etc. However, on a purely practical level, I would HATE John, Ringo, Paul and George to be widely accepted variables. Not only do they not have anything to do with the subject, so they're completely arbitrary and tell you nothing about what they're supposed to represent, but they are also long to write. Imagine having to deal with an equation and constantly having to write "John","Paul","Ringo", & "George"!

@ThiagowwW10 dark energy is the unknown energy/force behind the universal expansion, this is shining a light (hopefully) on what it actually is driving the expansion, I believe they're two names for the same thing in a sense.

Just like every biologist has to accept names of genes like "gooseberry," "sonic hedgehog," and the all-mighty "tiggywinkle hedgehog."
Anyone who whines about this lighthearted take on nature is a lame party-pooper, just like the losers that rejected the paper because they want everyone to take them super seriously because they're super important. Nature is something you either develop a sense of humor about, or get existential over. I know which path I'd rather take.

I thought ,what it was accelerating the universe expantion, was dark energy. Is vaccum energy and dark energy two different names for the same thing or dark energy it's something else entirely?

You have to be sneaky to slip a joke into a peer-reviewed paper. A good example is the 2010 Nobel Prize winner Andre Giem publishing a paper with his hamster (credited as H.A.M.S. ter Tisha) or the unfortunate unintentional joke of a Chinese research group persistently abbreviating copper (Cu) nanotubules (NT's) - sure you can all work it out...

If space is expanding where do you get additional pieces of it? I mean, you can't just stretch space between this and that galaxy. And yes, space is most probably quantized; there is no evidence for anything in existence that is continuous.

Why not change "John" "Paul" "George" & "Ringo" in the article to "j", "p", "g" & "r"? Certainly not as obvious as the Alpher, Bethe, Gamow paper.
And remember that "Across the Universe" is currently traveling at light speed towards Polaris, being transmitted by NASA in 2008.
Anyway, points for trying, fellas!
